The injury takes place five days before Buxton is slated to compete in the Home Run Derby, which is scheduled for Monday in Atlanta (8 p.m. ET, ESPN). Buxton was also selected as a reserve for his second career All-Star Game, which will take place on Tuesday (8 p.m. ET, FOX). His injury leaves his status for both events in doubt.
The injury took place in the bottom of the first inning in the first Twins at-bat of the game. A 98 mph fastball from Cubs starter Cade Horton sailed high and inside and hit Buxton on the top of his left hand, which was covered by protective padding.
